San Antonio Spurs vs Atlanta Hawks: Predicted lineups
The Spurs are expected to field Tre Jones and Devin Vassell as the starting backcourt. Julian Champagnie, Jeremy Sochan and Victor Wembanyama should form the frontcourt and round up the starting five.
For the Hawks, Trae Young and Dejounte Murray are locked for the backcourt for the season as long as they are healthy. Saddiq Bey and Jalen Johnson should be the starting forwards, while Clint Capela will likely start at center.
San Antonio Spurs vs Atlanta Hawks: Betting tips
Trae Young has been given an NBA prop of 29.5 points but has not reached that mark in four of his last five games. Even though he packs the firepower, to go over the slump is a huge risk to take.
Victor Wembanyama has 19.5 points as the prop for this game. He has been going over in four of his last five matchups, and the trend is going up for the rookie as he gets more acquainted in the NBA.
San Antonio Spurs vs Atlanta Hawks: Prediction
The home court advantage gives the Hawks the advantage over the Spurs, which is why they are favored to win. The total should go over, like in the last game, and the spread should not be covered, as the Spurs will likely keep it close.
